    I've done the laparoscopic surgery last year for fibroid removal. My doctor took out 7 fibroids and 1 cyst. I'm glad that he took them out. As for post-op, my pain was 7-8 from a scale of 1-10, as 10 being painful. However, I only took pain meds for 2 days the most. I laid mostly in bed for 2 days, on the 3rd day I walked around the house. After 1 week post op, I was able to drive. If I was in public, I could only stand being out for 1-2 hours, otherwise, I'd get really tired.

    Good luck, you will be fine. The best part is that the fibroids will be out of your body.
